The data shows that identifying #deepfakes is becoming a crucial skill. That’s why the First Ai-iD Kit was created.

I absolutely ❤️ being part of Accenture! Here's a pivotal reason why.... Working at the forefront of innovation and change across many industries turns 'work' into 'pleasure' - every day. With the shout out I'm about to make, I am reminded of a story from the beginning of my career when we (then Anderson Consulting) ran an experiment called 'Dotcoza', a play on the internet country domain of South Africa. Chris Botha was placed in a house with nothing but a bed and a computer to see if he could survive for 3 months in the year 2000 in South Africa - nothing and nobody allowed near him unless ordered online. He did survive! :) and in a post pandemic world, 24 years later, we all have! Today, a shout out to Accenture's awesome Greg Cress for his entertaining and informative adventure on a 2,200km road trip across the length of South Africa in BEVs to educate and dispel myths.
